Damien,


Just for 'confirmation' purposes, Gustavo is the coordinator of our
subproject form Gnome. At LDP-BR we are translating several things and
have created subprojects for big things (KDE, Gnome, etc.). Gustavo is
in charge of Gnome.

We've been studying changing my name for his on all referenced pages
at Gnome website, so that people contact him directly. With regards to
LDP-BR, he will continue posting the translation status and 'calls for
work' at our mailing list.

I don't receive CVS commits. I believe there's a '-devel' mailing list
that gets them. If there isn't, it's a good suggestion from Gustavo.
